Slowing Down

I recently came across this quote and wanted to share it with my readers - I knew you'd appreciate it. This picture of one of my favorite walking trails goes with it very nicely.

"The people I admire most are those who have turned away from the cluttered materialism and returned to the beauty of the natural world and objects made by human hands, the texture of wood, the woven basket, the mixing of compost into soil in the back garden, a good soup cooking on the stove, an evening around the table with family and friends. Rediscovering this kind of beauty involves a slowing down, doesn't it? And it certainly involves listening to the priorities of the heart."

- Joanna Macy, Authenticity (Issue 23)
